Celebrate 30 years of F Gary Gray’s comedy classic Friday, the opening film of our 4/20 Weekend!
The film follows Craig and Smokey, two guys in Los Angeles hanging out on their porch on a Friday afternoon, smoking and drinking, looking for something to do. That’s it. That’s the plot!
Friday has become a beloved cult film and certified Frida Cinema favorite, known for its specific portrayal of life in South Central Los Angeles, and mixing humor with social commentary. The film’s dialogue and characters, especially the laid-back protagonist Craig (played by Ice Cube) and the eccentric Smokey (played by Chris Tucker), have left a lasting impact on pop culture, with memorable quotes that are often repeated in everyday conversations. Bye Felicia!
